Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

Like him or not, Steve Jobs was one of the greatest innovators of our time. His creative vision saved Apple from the brink in the late nineties and turned it into a consumer electronics powerhouse. Just look at how the iPod, iPad and the iPhone has changed our lives. With his health failing he passed the torch one final time to now CEO and Chairman of the board Tim Cook this past August. It will be interesting to see how Apple fairs in the coming years without the innovation and creativity of Jobs. He touched a lot of people and his loss will be felt throughout the world.

"The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely."
